Definitions
- This invention relates generally to treated aluminum nitride powder, a method of treating aluminum nitride powder, and methods of using such powder.
- Ceramic materials are used today in many applications which call for durable, tough, and heat-resistant materials.
- a ceramic composite powder is often made by first wet mixing ceramic powder, such as aluminum nitride (AI ), ceramic composite components, such as binders, lubricants, sintering aids, and other processing aids in a solvent.
- ceramic powder such as aluminum nitride (AI )
- ceramic composite components such as binders, lubricants, sintering aids, and other processing aids in a solvent.
- AIN powder when used as the ceramic powder, wet mixing is performed using alcohol or some other non-aqueous liquid as a solvent to aid in mixing. Water is generally not a suitable sol vent for wet mixing with AIN powder because AIN is highly sensitive to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis liberates ammonia as a byproduct.
- water would be an ideal solvent for wet mixing AIN powder. If water were to be used as the solvent, no precautions would need to be taken to avoid exposure to the solvent during wet mixing operations. Additionally, containing the solvent and taking precautions to avoid the dangers of flammable liquids during and after mixing would not be necessary with water.
- PCT Patent Application WO 90/06906 discloses a method of preparing an inorganic nitride or carbide particle having deposited thereon a substantially uniform surface layer coating of a metal hydroxide or metal oxide.
- the method includes (i) placing nitride or carbide particles into a solution comprising water and a surfactant that reacts with the nitride or carbide particles at a faster rate than the water, (ii) adding thereto an aqueous solution containing ions of a metal that will form the metal hydroxide or oxide, and (iii) increasing the pH of the solution of the metal and the nitride or carbide particles to deposit the metal hydroxide on the surface of the nitride or carbide particles.
- the nitride may be AIN and the metal hydroxide or oxide may be generated from salts such as yttrium nitrate.
- the method disclosed in the PCT Patent Application is not ideal for several reasons. First, it uses an amount of metal compound greater than that found necessary by the present invention. Second, it uses water or predominantly water as the solvent during the treatment step. Water may not be preferred due to the possibility of hydrolysis of the AIN powder. Third, the method uses a surfactant to coat the AIN powders. This may leave an undesired impurity in the ceramic. Some of the surfactants mentioned consist of zirconium and aluminum compounds. The addition of zirconium and aluminum oxides to AIN powders is known to negatively affect the thermal conductivity of parts sintered from the powders. Disclosure of the Invention
- a first aspect of the invention is a process of preparing a aqueous slip containing moisture-resistant aluminum nitride powder, comprising: (a) thoroughly mixing a slurry containing AIN powder, an yttrium-containing compound, and a solvent for the yttrium- containing compound in the absence of any surfactant; (b) removing the solvent from the slurry to form dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder uniformly coated with the yttrium- containing compound; and (c) dispersing the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder and ceramic composite components in an aqueous medium, wherein the aqueous medium is employed in an amount of from 20 to 80 weight percent and the dry moisture-resistant Al N powder and the ceramic composite components are employed in a combined amount of from 20 to 80 weight percent, both percentages being based upon combined weights of the aqueous medium, the AIN powder and the ceramic composite components and totalling 100 percent.
- the yttrium- containing compound is present in an amount from 0.1 to
- a second aspect of the invention is the dry, moisture-resistant aluminum nitride powder uniformly coated with an yttrium-containing compound that results from steps (a) and (b) of the foregoing process.
- the yttrium-containing compound is present in an amount from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, calculated as yttrium oxide, of the AIN powder.
- the aqueous slip prepared in accordance with the first aspect may be used to make ceramic articles. The slip is suitably converted to ceramic greenware and sintered using conventional procedures.
- the yttrium-containing compound is desirably present in an amount within a range of from 0.1 to 10 weight percent (wt-%), calculated as yttrium oxide (Y 2 0 3 ), of the AIN.
- the range is preferably from 0.1 to 0.4 wt-% , calculated as Y2O3, based upon weight of the AIN powder. It is believed that a substantial amount of the yttrium-containing compound coats the
- the yttrium-containing compound may be yttrium nitrate, yttrium sulfate, yttrium carbonate, yttrium alkoxides such as yttrium ethoxide and yttrium isopropoxide, and mixtures thereof.
- the yttrium-containing compounds in the coating may subsequently be converted to Y 2 0 3 .
- the yttrium-containing compound is coated onto AI N powder by a two steo process.
- Step one includes thoroughly mixing a slurry containing AIN powder, an yttrium- containing compound, and a solvent for the yttrium-containing compound in the absence of any surfactant.
- the yttrium-containing compounds must be substantially soluble i n the solvent.
- the slurry is beneficially free of other additives such as binders, plasticizers and lubricants.
- Step two includes removing the solvent from the slurry to form the moisture- resistant AIN powder that is uniformly coated with the yttrium-containing compound.
- the solvent is suitably a polar organic solvent or a mixture of such solvents.
- Suitable polar organic solvents include methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.
- Non-aqueous solvents are usually preferred over aqueous solvents, as they offer less chance of hydrolyzing the AIN powder.
- the amount of solvent employed in the slurry is generally enough to facilitate mixing of the ingredients.
- the solvent, the yttrium-containing compound, and the AIN powder may be mixed together in any order.
- the slurry is preferably blended until a uniform coating is achieved on external surfaces of the AlN powder.
- Removing solvent from the slurry may be accomplished using conventional devices such as rotary evaporators, vacuum ovens, spray driers, or evaporating dishes. There is generally no need to grind or break up the dry treated powder.
- the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder After the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder is prepared, it may be dispersed in an aqueous medium to be milled with ceramic composite components, thereby forming a slip. It has been found that the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powders of this invention can be submerged and agitated in water for at least 46 hours, and sometimes up to 250 hours, before significant hydrolysis begins. Once significant hydrolysis begins, it tends to proceed at a slower rate than with untreated AIN powder.
- Ceramic composite components may include binders, lubricants, sintering aids, dispersants, plasticizers, and other processing aids.
- binders include polyethylene glycols and polyethylene oxides.
- the binder may be added alone or in combination with a solvent.
- the binder is preferably employed in an amount sufficient to provide a greenware article formed from the composite powder with sufficient strength to retain its shape during normal handling and processing. This amount is typically from 1 to 20 wt-%, more typically from 2 to 10 wt-% , based on the weight of the Al N powder.
- Suitable lubricants are oleic acid, stearic acid, and mineral oil. These lubricants may be employed in amounts ranging from 0.1 to 2 wt-% based on weight of the AIN powder.
- Suitable sintering aids include calcium oxide, Y 2 0 3 , and other rare earth and alkaline earth metal oxides and halides. The sintering aids are typically employed in an amount of from 0.5 to 10 wt-% , based on weight of the Al N powder.
- Suitable dispersants include menhaden fish oil and an ammonium polyelectrolyte sold under the name " DARVAN ", a trademark of R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, Connecticut. Dispersants are added in an amount sufficient to facilitate milling and aid in maintaining a high solids to liquid ratio. If a dispersant is employed, it is preferably in an amount of from 0.1 to 1 wt-%, based on weight of the AIN powder.
- Illustrative plasticizers include propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, t ⁇ propylene glycol and glycerin If a plasti ⁇ zer is employed, it is preferably in an amount of from 1 to 20 wt- % , and more preferably from 2 to 10 wt-% , based on weight of the AIN powder
- the slip has a ' solids" content that is typically from 20 to 80 wt-%, more typically from 40 to 70 wt-%
- Solids refer to the AI N powder and any ceramic composite components employed
- the aqueous medium is present in the slip in an amount of from 80 to 20 wt-% , more typically, from 30 to 60 wt-%
- the amounts of solids and aqueous medium total 100%
- the process of milling the slip acts to mix the ingredients and reduce or eliminate agglomerates
- Conventional milling methods include ball milling, sonication, and high shear mixing Milling is generally carried out for a period of from 2 to 24 hours
- the milled slip may be converted to a greenware article by conventional procedures such as tape casting, injection molding, slip casting, dry pressing, or cold isostatic pressing
- the slip may be filtered prior to drying to remove agglomerates
- the article is usually heated to remove or "burn out" organic components, such as the binder, lubricant, dispersant, plasticizer and any other organic processing aid
- the burn out operation may be done in an inert gas (N 2 , H 2 /N 2 , or Ar) atmosphere or in air It is desirable to burn out the organic components at a temperature of from 380°C to 550°C After burning out the organic additives, the article is then generally sintered at temperatures of from 1600° to 1950°C
- the sintering may be
- This invention has an advantage in that the ytt ⁇ um-co ⁇ taining compound, acting as a sintering aid, is very well dispersed in the composite powder, generally optimizing the effectiveness of the sintering aid
- a well-distributed sintering aid may also provide improved microstructural uniformity which may, in turn, result in improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties as well as provide a uniform surface chemistry, facilitating subsequent metallization of the sintered ceramic
- Example 1 Using ethanol as the solvent, AIN powder was treated as described in Example 1 with yttrium ethoxide at a 0.5 wt-% level, calculated as Y 2 0 3 .
- the treated powders exhibited pH stability similar to that of Example 1.
- Example 3 Using ethanol as the solvent, AIN powder was treated as described in Example 1 with yttrium sulfate at a 0.5 wt-% level, calculated as Y 2 0 3 .
- the treated powders behaved in the same manner as the treated powders of Examples 1 and 2.
- Examples 1-3 demonstrate the suitability of three different yttrium compounds. Similar results are expected with other yttrium compounds that are disclosed herein.
- AIN powder was treated according to the invention with yttrium nitrate at a level of 0.5 wt-% calculated as Y 2 0 3 , using ethanol as the solvent.
- 92 g of the treated AI powder were mixed with the 1 g propylene glycol, 3 g glycerin, 0.23 g of an ammonium polyelectrolyte sold underthe name "DARVAN C", a trademark of R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, Connecticut, 2.76 g Y 2 0 3 , and 60 ml deionized water.

Description
MOISTURE-RESISTANT ALUMINUM NITRIDE POWDER AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING
Technical Field This invention relates generally to treated aluminum nitride powder, a method of treating aluminum nitride powder, and methods of using such powder. Background of the Invention
Ceramic materials are used today in many applications which call for durable, tough, and heat-resistant materials. In making ceramic articles, a ceramic composite powder is often made by first wet mixing ceramic powder, such as aluminum nitride (AI ), ceramic composite components, such as binders, lubricants, sintering aids, and other processing aids in a solvent.
Traditionally, when AIN powder is used as the ceramic powder, wet mixing is performed using alcohol or some other non-aqueous liquid as a solvent to aid in mixing. Water is generally not a suitable sol vent for wet mixing with AIN powder because AIN is highly sensitive to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis liberates ammonia as a byproduct.
Due to environmental concerns, water would be an ideal solvent for wet mixing AIN powder. If water were to be used as the solvent, no precautions would need to be taken to avoid exposure to the solvent during wet mixing operations. Additionally, containing the solvent and taking precautions to avoid the dangers of flammable liquids during and after mixing would not be necessary with water.
PCT Patent Application WO 90/06906 discloses a method of preparing an inorganic nitride or carbide particle having deposited thereon a substantially uniform surface layer coating of a metal hydroxide or metal oxide. The method includes (i) placing nitride or carbide particles into a solution comprising water and a surfactant that reacts with the nitride or carbide particles at a faster rate than the water, (ii) adding thereto an aqueous solution containing ions of a metal that will form the metal hydroxide or oxide, and (iii) increasing the pH of the solution of the metal and the nitride or carbide particles to deposit the metal hydroxide on the surface of the nitride or carbide particles. The nitride may be AIN and the metal hydroxide or oxide may be generated from salts such as yttrium nitrate.
The method disclosed in the PCT Patent Application is not ideal for several reasons. First, it uses an amount of metal compound greater than that found necessary by the present invention. Second, it uses water or predominantly water as the solvent during the treatment step. Water may not be preferred due to the possibility of hydrolysis of the AIN powder. Third, the method uses a surfactant to coat the AIN powders. This may leave an undesired impurity in the ceramic. Some of the surfactants mentioned consist of zirconium and aluminum compounds. The addition of zirconium and aluminum oxides to AIN powders is known to negatively affect the thermal conductivity of parts sintered from the powders.
Disclosure of the Invention
A first aspect of the invention is a process of preparing a aqueous slip containing moisture-resistant aluminum nitride powder, comprising: (a) thoroughly mixing a slurry containing AIN powder, an yttrium-containing compound, and a solvent for the yttrium- containing compound in the absence of any surfactant; (b) removing the solvent from the slurry to form dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder uniformly coated with the yttrium- containing compound; and (c) dispersing the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powder and ceramic composite components in an aqueous medium, wherein the aqueous medium is employed in an amount of from 20 to 80 weight percent and the dry moisture-resistant Al N powder and the ceramic composite components are employed in a combined amount of from 20 to 80 weight percent, both percentages being based upon combined weights of the aqueous medium, the AIN powder and the ceramic composite components and totalling 100 percent. The yttrium- containing compound is present in an amount from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, calculated as yttrium oxide, of the AIN.
A second aspect of the invention is the dry, moisture-resistant aluminum nitride powder uniformly coated with an yttrium-containing compound that results from steps (a) and (b) of the foregoing process. The yttrium-containing compound is present in an amount from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, calculated as yttrium oxide, of the AIN powder. The aqueous slip prepared in accordance with the first aspect may be used to make ceramic articles. The slip is suitably converted to ceramic greenware and sintered using conventional procedures.
Detailed Description of the Invention The yttrium-containing compound is desirably present in an amount within a range of from 0.1 to 10 weight percent (wt-%), calculated as yttrium oxide (Y203), of the AIN.
The range is preferably from 0.1 to 0.4 wt-% , calculated as Y2O3, based upon weight of the AIN powder. It is believed that a substantial amount of the yttrium-containing compound coats the
AIN powder. The yttrium-containing compound may be yttrium nitrate, yttrium sulfate, yttrium carbonate, yttrium alkoxides such as yttrium ethoxide and yttrium isopropoxide, and mixtures thereof. The yttrium-containing compounds in the coating may subsequently be converted to Y203.
The yttrium-containing compound is coated onto AI N powder by a two steo process. Step one includes thoroughly mixing a slurry containing AIN powder, an yttrium- containing compound, and a solvent for the yttrium-containing compound in the absence of any surfactant. The yttrium-containing compounds must be substantially soluble i n the solvent. The slurry is beneficially free of other additives such as binders, plasticizers and
lubricants. Step two includes removing the solvent from the slurry to form the moisture- resistant AIN powder that is uniformly coated with the yttrium-containing compound.
The solvent is suitably a polar organic solvent or a mixture of such solvents. Suitable polar organic solvents include methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. Non-aqueous solvents are usually preferred over aqueous solvents, as they offer less chance of hydrolyzing the AIN powder. The amount of solvent employed in the slurry is generally enough to facilitate mixing of the ingredients.
The solvent, the yttrium-containing compound, and the AIN powder may be mixed together in any order. The slurry is preferably blended until a uniform coating is achieved on external surfaces of the AlN powder.
Removing solvent from the slurry may be accomplished using conventional devices such as rotary evaporators, vacuum ovens, spray driers, or evaporating dishes. There is generally no need to grind or break up the dry treated powder. After the dry, moisture- resistant AIN powder is prepared, it may be dispersed in an aqueous medium to be milled with ceramic composite components, thereby forming a slip. It has been found that the dry, moisture-resistant AIN powders of this invention can be submerged and agitated in water for at least 46 hours, and sometimes up to 250 hours, before significant hydrolysis begins. Once significant hydrolysis begins, it tends to proceed at a slower rate than with untreated AIN powder. Ceramic composite components may include binders, lubricants, sintering aids, dispersants, plasticizers, and other processing aids. Examples of binders include polyethylene glycols and polyethylene oxides. The binder may be added alone or in combination with a solvent. The binder is preferably employed in an amount sufficient to provide a greenware article formed from the composite powder with sufficient strength to retain its shape during normal handling and processing. This amount is typically from 1 to 20 wt-%, more typically from 2 to 10 wt-% , based on the weight of the Al N powder.
Suitable lubricants are oleic acid, stearic acid, and mineral oil. These lubricants may be employed in amounts ranging from 0.1 to 2 wt-% based on weight of the AIN powder. Suitable sintering aids include calcium oxide, Y203, and other rare earth and alkaline earth metal oxides and halides. The sintering aids are typically employed in an amount of from 0.5 to 10 wt-% , based on weight of the Al N powder.
Suitable dispersants include menhaden fish oil and an ammonium polyelectrolyte sold under the name " DARVAN ", a trademark of R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, Connecticut. Dispersants are added in an amount sufficient to facilitate milling and aid in maintaining a high solids to liquid ratio. If a dispersant is employed, it is preferably in an amount of from 0.1 to 1 wt-%, based on weight of the AIN powder.
Illustrative plasticizers include propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tπpropylene glycol and glycerin If a plastiαzer is employed, it is preferably in an amount of from 1 to 20 wt- % , and more preferably from 2 to 10 wt-% , based on weight of the AIN powder
The slip has a ' solids" content that is typically from 20 to 80 wt-%, more typically from 40 to 70 wt-% "Solids" refer to the AI N powder and any ceramic composite components employed Correspondingly, the aqueous medium is present in the slip in an amount of from 80 to 20 wt-% , more typically, from 30 to 60 wt-% The amounts of solids and aqueous medium total 100%
The process of milling the slip acts to mix the ingredients and reduce or eliminate agglomerates Conventional milling methods include ball milling, sonication, and high shear mixing Milling is generally carried out for a period of from 2 to 24 hours The milled slip may be converted to a greenware article by conventional procedures such as tape casting, injection molding, slip casting, dry pressing, or cold isostatic pressing The slip may be filtered prior to drying to remove agglomerates Once the slip has been cast, molded, or compacted into an article, the article is usually heated to remove or "burn out" organic components, such as the binder, lubricant, dispersant, plasticizer and any other organic processing aid The burn out operation may be done in an inert gas (N2, H2/N2, or Ar) atmosphere or in air It is desirable to burn out the organic components at a temperature of from 380°C to 550°C After burning out the organic additives, the article is then generally sintered at temperatures of from 1600° to 1950°C The sintering may be done in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen, or in a reducing atmosphere, such as hydrogen or a hydrogen-nitrogen mix
This invention has an advantage in that the yttπum-coπtaining compound, acting as a sintering aid, is very well dispersed in the composite powder, generally optimizing the effectiveness of the sintering aid A well-distributed sintering aid may also provide improved microstructural uniformity which may, in turn, result in improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties as well as provide a uniform surface chemistry, facilitating subsequent metallization of the sintered ceramic
The following examples are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the invention which is properly delineated in the appended claims Example 1
8 5 g of Y(N03)3x5H20 were dissolved in 700 ml ethanol to form a solution Then 500 g of an AIN powder having a surface area of 3 5m2/g were added slowly to the solution while vigorously mixing the solution to form a slurry The amount of yttrium nitrate used relative to the amount of AI N powder resulted in yttrium being present at a level of 0 5 wt-% , calculated as Y203, of the AIN After the slurry was mixed under high shear for approximately 1 hour, it was rotary evaporated under vacuum to dryness and further dried and calcined for 16 hours at 120°C ιn a vacuum oven to form a dry, moisture-resistant AI N powder
The dry AIN powder was tested for resistance to hydrolysis by mixing the powder in water. Specifically, 8 g powder were mixed in 60 ml deionized water. The pH of the powder- water mixture was measured over time, while the mixture was continuously stirred. The pH rose from 6.5 to a stable pH of less than 7.2 that was maintained over 8 days, at which point an extremely gradual rise in pH was noted.
Comparatively, untreated AIN powder was tested for resistance to hydrolysis by mixing it in water as described with the treated powder. The pH of the powder-water mixture rose from 6.5 to over 10, and, within 24 hours, a violent boiling reaction between the powder and water occurred. Example 2
Using ethanol as the solvent, AIN powder was treated as described in Example 1 with yttrium ethoxide at a 0.5 wt-% level, calculated as Y203. The treated powders exhibited pH stability similar to that of Example 1. Example 3 Using ethanol as the solvent, AIN powder was treated as described in Example 1 with yttrium sulfate at a 0.5 wt-% level, calculated as Y203. The treated powders behaved in the same manner as the treated powders of Examples 1 and 2.
Examples 1-3 demonstrate the suitability of three different yttrium compounds. Similar results are expected with other yttrium compounds that are disclosed herein.
Example 4
AIN powder was treated according to the invention with yttrium nitrate at a level of 0.5 wt-% calculated as Y203, using ethanol as the solvent. 92 g of the treated AI powder were mixed with the 1 g propylene glycol, 3 g glycerin, 0.23 g of an ammonium polyelectrolyte sold underthe name "DARVAN C", a trademark of R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, Connecticut, 2.76 g Y203, and 60 ml deionized water. The mixture was ball milled in AIN media for 21 hours in a closed container. 4 g of methyl cellulose sold underthe name "METHOCEL" , a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan, dispersed in approximately 80 ml water were added to the ball-milled mixture. About 25 ml water were added to the mixture to facilitate rinsing during transfer of the mixture from one container to another. The mixture was then hand stirred and centrifuged to remove bubbles. The mixture was tape cast to a 0.125 cm thickness and dried under forced air. The dried thickness was about 0.015 cm thick. The dried cast material was then exposed to a temperature of 500°C for one hour to burn out the organic components. The oxygen content of the resulting burned-out material was 2.88 wt-% . The burned-out material was then sintered at 1860°C for one hour. After sintering, the oxygen content was 2.5 wt-% .
This example demonstrates that treated AIN powder can successfully be processed in water-based formulations for many hours in a closed container.
